Microsoft is starting to rally its employees for one of the most pivotal product launches in the company’s history.
With Windows 10 set to debut in less than two weeks, the company has raised blue banners all around its Redmond, Wash., campus — featuring slogans such as “From Redmond with love,” “Pride,” and “All in.” GeekWire snapped these photos during a visit to campus on Saturday afternoon.
My favorite is “Bleed Blue,” which is typically used by fans of the India national cricket team. In fact, there was a game of cricket being played on the east side of campus Saturday.
Another neat slogan was simply “1985,” when Microsoft released Windows 1.0 — that was 30 years ago, if you can believe that.
Similar slogans are pasted to the elevators inside Microsoft’s buildings, too:

Windows 10 launches July 29, giving Microsoft a chance to bring disenchanted Windows users back into the fold, and lay the foundation for the company’s future.
It’s going to be a big week on the Microsoft campus. Massive tents are also under construction for OneWeek, Microsoft’s annual employee event and celebration, which features a big hackathon, an employee expo, a science fair, and an employee Q&A with CEO Satya Nadella and other leaders.
